1 John 2:20-23
New American Standard Bible
20 [a]But you have an (A)anointing from (B)the Holy One, and (C)you all know. 21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but (D)because you do know it, and [b]because no lie is (E)of the truth. 22 Who is the liar except (F)the one who denies that Jesus is the [c]Christ? This is (G)the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. 23 (H)Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.

International Standard Version
20 You have an anointing from the Holy One and know all things.[a] 21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because lies don’t come from truth. 22 Who is a liar but the person who denies that Jesus is the Messiah?[b] The person who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father. The person who acknowledges the Son also has the Father.
